Hot summer days are on the way and our diet starts to shift to lighter meals. Less time will be spent in the kitchen and that means looking for easier and less time consuming recipes. Salads are always a go-to meal. However, diversity is the key since we easily get tired of the same dish…

Vegan Hot Dogs
I associate hot dogs with summer BBQs, evenings at the beach and breezy nights on the roof at home. But it is not often that we have hot dogs at home, since we try to stay away from packaged food as much as possible. Having a good sausage is the key here… and what is…
Chinese Sticky Aubergine
Recently we paid a visit to a Chinese restaurant in Budapest. We ordered a number of different dishes to share between us all. One of the dishes was called “yú xiāng eggplant”. As you may have noticed already, eggplant is one of my favourite vegetables and I insisted on ordering that dish for us to…
Creamy Cauliflower Soup
Although the weather is changing, sometimes we still have a cold wintery day. On such days, nothing is better than a warm bowl of soup. At the moment, you will find a lot of beautiful white cauliflower at the local farmers market. So I decided to grab one and make this creamy delicious soup to…
Chickpea & Carrot Stew
Chickpea and Carrot stew is another vegetarian dish that is currently on my list of favourites. Besides the fact that it is tasty and healthy, it is also a one-pot meal, which makes it easier to clean up afterwards. 😀 This dish is inspired by Moroccan cuisine, using cinnamon powder and dates to add sweetness….

Tomato & Aubergine Risotto

It just needs simple quality ingredients, taking their time to meld beautifully together. We love risotto so much, that we hardly ever order it when we eat at restaurants, we have so…
Roasted Garlic Tomato Sauce
Coming from the Mediterranean, pasta with tomato sauce has always been a staple in our diet. Sauces are always homemade because they are the best. This recipe is a great way to use the fresh summer tomatoes when they are in abundance. However, we can also enjoy it using canned tomatoes. The result will be…

After a cold, long day, all you need is a bowl of comforting food and this roasted butternut squash soup is not just comforting, it is healthy and made with simple ingredients. I have tried a lot of butternut squash variations, like this Butternut Squash Soup, but trust me,…
Colourful Veggie Soup
A cold grey day can only get better with some bright colours and good food. What if you can combine the two to have a colourful dish of comfort food? 💡😀 This soup incorporates a mixture of colourful vegetables in a broth flavoured with various herbs and spices. I also like to sauté the vegetables…
